For a recent example of this, read "<a href="http://consumerist.com/368382/hp-replaces-missing-laptop-after-3-months" rel="nofollow">HP Replaces Missing Laptop After 3 Months</a>."

It would be like my old Inspiron 9100, but without the heat (Pentium 4 with hyperthreading!) and weight (9+ pounds!).
